Karnataka, May 4 -- Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Monday, while analysing the ongoing election results, called the situation a "mixed result."

He noted that while the LDF was expected to return in Kerala for a second term, the possibility of a third term seemed unlikely.

"No, it is definitely a mixed result. We expected Kerala to come back because the LDF was ruling for a second term. I don't think they would get a majority for a third term. That was the discussion in our meetings. So it looks like the UDF is going to form the government," he said.

In other states, apart from Assam, the BJP is reportedly leading in most constituencies, including Bengal, though Parmeshwar added, "We will have to wait and see till the end." ...
